iPhone 4S gets teardown treatment by iFixit

We've been expecting this to happen, but we didn't expect it to be so fast. Sure, plenty of folks are still waiting for their shipments to arrive, but Apple's latest magical handset is already baring its innards, courtesy of the screwdriver-wielding mad scientists at iFixit.

The good folks over at iFixit have finished mucking about the iPhone 4S's innards and have confirmed the handset's packing 512MB of DDR2 RAM, an updated Qualcomm MDM6610 chip and 16GB of NAND flash memory courtesy of Toshiba. There's no indication that the A5 processor is clocked at 800MHz as claimed by Anandtech though.

Idle hands will be happy to know the phone's been awarded a six out of ten repairability rating — it's not quite amateur territory, but you don't have to be a pro to get your hands dirty.
